Appendectomy Appendectomy is a surgery to remove the appendix. The appendix is a small pouch that comes off the large intestine. The appendix sometimes gets blocked and becomes infected and swollen. Signs of an infected appendix include abdominal pain in the lower right side, fever, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. If the appendix bursts, it can make you very sick. There are two ways to do this surgery: • Open appendectomy - a single incision is made in the abdomen. The doctor works through this larger incision to remove the appendix. • Laparoscopic appendectomy - 3 or 4 small incisions are made in the abdomen. The doctor uses a camera and tools through the small incisions to remove the appendix. With this type of surgery, you may recover faster, have less pain, less scarring, fewer wound problems and often spends less time in the hospital. 1 闌尾切除術 闌尾切除術是切除闌尾的手 術。闌尾是大腸末端的細長 管腔。闌尾有時候會被堵 塞，導致發炎和腫脹。闌尾 感染的症狀包括腹部右下方 小腸 胃 疼痛，發燒，食慾不振，噁 心和嘔吐。如果闌尾破裂， 可能導致嚴重後果。 闌尾切除術有兩種方式： • 開腹闌尾切除術（Open 闌尾 appendectomy ）-在腹部 大腸 開一個切口。醫生透過這 個切口，切除闌尾。 • 腹腔鏡闌尾切除術 （Laparoscopic appendectomy ）-在腹部 開 3 或 4 個很小的切口。 醫生透過這些小切口，使用攝影機和工具切除闌尾。施行此手 術，可能康復更快，疼痛較小，疤痕較小，傷口問題較少，一 般住院時間也較短。 Appendectomy.
